Update

OMAHA, Neb. (KCSi-T.V. News May 10, 2013) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports that currently releases are 100 cfs at Pipestem Reservoir and 950 cfs at Jamestown Reservoir resulting in a combined release of 1050 cfs.

These releases will be held steady though the weekend.

Over the next few weeks, Jamestown Reservoir releases may be adjusted up or down depending on the inflows into the reservoir and the downstream channel conditions.

However, the combined release is expected to be no higher than 1100 cfs unless significant rainfall is received.

Throughout May and early June, emphasis is being placed on evacuating Jamestown Reservoir flood storage.

Pipestem Reservoir flood storage will be primarily evacuated in June, July and August.
